Disturbing? Hmmm. In person, or just in photos?

Flower shots are something I have mixed feelings about: I don't much
like *looking* at flower photos, but I really like photographing flowers
(which inevitably leaves me with a bunch of photos I'm not really
interested in looking at, but if I were rational I wouldn't be on this
list now would I?). I love working with the organic shapes and textures,
especially getting in close enough to make them almost abstract.
here's another (of the same plant in my previous shot, actually):

Don't worry, I don't like taking *or* viewing cat photos.

I find flowers disturbing. Especially in color.

I think it was the French painter Edgar Degas who wrote that he was
disturbed by the visual cacaphony of bouquets of flowers. He seldom painted
them, with one famous exception, a painting that showed a vase of flowers on
a table and a woman off to the right. But he said he found this painting
distressing rather than pretty.

Ancient memories here, I could be wrong.
